Frequently Asked Questions
What is Judiciary?
The judiciary refers to the branch of government responsible for interpreting and applying the law in the resolution of disputes. It is tasked with upholding the rule of law, ensuring justice, and safeguarding individual rights. The judiciary includes judges, courts, and other legal institutions that administer justice and adjudicate legal matters according to established laws and legal principles. Its primary role is to interpret laws, settle disputes, and uphold justice impartially within the framework of the legal system.
What is Law?
Law refers to a system of rules and regulations established by a governing authority to regulate behavior within a society. It encompasses statutes, regulations, judicial decisions, and legal principles that govern interactions between individuals, organizations, and governments. Laws serve to maintain order, protect individual rights, resolve disputes, and promote justice and fairness within a society.
What is Fine & Fees?
Fines and fees in court encompass financial penalties levied for violations of laws or regulations. Fines, imposed as punishment for committing a crime or breaking a law, vary in amount based on the severity of the offense and may be mandated by statute or determined by judicial discretion. Meanwhile, court fees cover charges associated with legal processes, such as filing fees and administrative costs, supporting the operation of the judicial system. Both fines and fees serve to deter unlawful behavior, fund court operations, and ensure the fair administration of justice, with provisions often available for individuals facing financial challenges to request waivers or payment arrangements.
